Are you waiting on the world to change??  Because if you're 18, you have the right to vote, and you can help change your world - locally - one vote at a time.  Voting takes a few minutes and a quick registration with two pieces of ID at the polling station.  Citizens in other countries are willing to fight and to protest for their right to vote, so make sure you exercise YOUR right! 

Richard has a few words to say to youth in his latest video.

Why is Richard Stewart considered 'the people's mayor'?  Is it because he's always out and about in the community? 

Perhaps the words of the people can help explain.

Richard welcomes participation and input from multicultural groups in Coquitlam, and has played an active role in many cultural events.  If you're fluent, please read this Korean article about Richard, information in Chinese, or this recent advertisement in Farsi.

Richard was recently interviewed by host Paul Sundher on Tri-Cities Profile, Tri-Cities Community Television's newest program, airing on Shaw Television. 

Watch this wide-ranging discussion covering everything from the accomplishments of the past several years, the current campaign, and being Mayor (bear??) Aware. 

Richard placed an ad in the October 28 Tri-City News, thanking those who played a role in such a successful campaign office Grand Opening, and inviting Coquitlam residents to engage in the future of their city by getting involved in this election campaign!
